Well, if you're rooted - I wouldn't do this. I don't know if you'll ever be able to get root again.
If you're not rooted - I'm not quite sure why you're here.
there is already three threads for this. download is very slow. anybody mirror yet?
Lets say I rooted my phone just so I could use the 2.1 ROMs people have here before the release, and I don't care if my phone is rooted or not, can I just install this ROM on a rooted phone or does it need to be "de-rooted" first?

As long as you don't care if you ever see root again, you can run the RUU no matter how you have your phone configured.
At OP,
I merged both threads that you created for this subject. Please do not double post. Thanks.

FYI: This is probably a general question and not a development question.

It will take you 15 minutes to do it if you are feeling adventurous. If you follow these directions you will end up with CyanogenMod 4.0.4. Once you are done with that walkthrough you can download one of the new 1.6 ROMs like the one from Akira and you will be good to go.
But you may want to learn how to partition your SD card, and today is your lucky day since they are giving away Paragon Partition Manager 10 for free for today only if you download AND install from http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/. Either way make sure to READ READ READ, google can answer most any question you could have.
Is it still possible to root the captivate if i flash to the new build? I just got this phone and I really want to do both of these..lol. Please someone let me know. I already downloaded the guide from this site. So I just want to know if I get the new build, is it possible to follow the same root instructions that are for 2.1? Thanks in advanced.

Yes it's still possible to root, but with a different ( more complicated ) method as of now. It's not the same as rooting on 2.1. You can find couple of threads regarding rooting froyo in development section.

There's a thread on how to dump your current phone in the dev forums - it's 2-3 pages down, was a hot item 3 weeks ago when Rogers released the Infuse.
but honestly - there are existing dumps of both Froyo variants (look at the Ultimate Unbrick) threads and of the Rogers Gingerbread release
I've tried to follow every single how to on here and I could not get my dad's galaxy s rooted. Its running KB5 2.2.1
Zergrush failed
I can't find a rooted rom that I can flash through odin
I can't find a one click rom to work with heimdall
Manual rooting didn't work
how the heck do I get this thing rooted? most of the DL links are pointed at multiupload and there are no good sources to get rooted roms from. Help me please.
Since you are on KB5....
You should go ahead an update your dad's phone to the newest official ROM - Gingerbread 2.3.6. Here is a simple guide for you to follow -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21954884
I recommend you stop after you update to Gingerbread and root the phone. Since it is not your phone I don't think you need to mess around with custom ROMs.
Good luck and let us know if you need more help.

Yep no custom roms for him. When I get it rooted I'm going to remove bloat with Titanium. I'll try this out and let you know.

I personally use System ROM Toolbox. TB seems to need to reboot for me when removing system .apk's, whereas with System ROM Toolbox batch remove the bloat... and if you decide to use a custom kernel to get CWM FB's DeBloater is really the easiest.

Samsung Galaxy S 4G
Woe dude...I feel for you. I had my SGS4G for 3 days now and just got it rooted about 20 minutes ago. Mine is running KJ6 2.3.6 Naturally, when we get our brand new toys instinct hits manual over-ride and we find ourselves tryna root it as soon as we wlked through the door - LOL! It's true - I did the same thing and hit a brick wall just like you did. And for the life of me I just couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong - and tryna figure out what I should have done that I wasn't doing. Sounds about right??? Okay, almost by complete accident I found out what I was doing wrong - lol - I tried to root my phone on a XP Pro OS!!! (Sounds Crazy Don't It?!) NOT ONE ROOT APPLICATION WORKED UNTIL I SWITCHED MY OS !!!
As soon as I slapped Super One Click 2.3.3.-Short Fuse on a Micro SD, and tried it again on a Vista 32-bit OS, the process took every bit of 3 1/2 minutes!!! Either way it goes, I hope my info can benefit you or someone reading in some way...
Til the next - HAPPY ROOTIN !!!

LOL I was about to post the same thing
Running Android ICS 4.0.3 and Build Number IMLL74K.US_epad-9.2.1.21-20120413
Every method of rooting I find has nothing to do with ICS, could someone help me on my marry way, I would really appreciate it. I just want to do a basic root, so that I can maybe change the kernal and pep up the CPU a bit.
Help would be rewarded :-D
ViperMod in the Prime form works for all but the latest firmware otherwise you have to downgrade first
And for future reference search first and questions go in Q&A not themes and apps

Sorry about posting in the wrong forum, I should know better, but I have tried downgrading and it does not work, it seems like once you are on 4.0.3 you are stuck. I just tried this method right here and got nowhere, it says nothing about an update being available...

Thanks and I did thank you, I am trying this now, I am guessing I want ICS .11, since that one is still rootable. I am trying it now, I cant believe I got this it was already on 4.03. Why do people upgrade just to upgrade... jerks.
I will let you know how this goes.
I think .17 is rootable with ViperMod also or you could just do Wolf's method 3 which let you install the recovery blob via abd and flashing the su afterward with cwm
Yeah, I actually went with the .11 Blog backup, and then rooted it without any problem at all, now just what to do, what to do... I do appreciate everyone who helped out, thanks much.
